Could you make a box that says

"This Fresh!Sans introject is not his source"

"This altert doesn't want to be compared to their source."

?

Here you go! I assumed since you wanted fresh sans mentioned in the userbox that you were fine including a picture of him along with it, but if you want that changed just lmk

Ahmes’ chambers was a safe place, a sanctuary from the horrifying reality of the world beyond it’s doors. It was the only place in the palace where the prince and his human companion Toshiki could be themselves, free from the shackles of their positions that kept them both chained down. That meant intruders were usually not liked. Ashlei and Percival guarded the outside thankfully, even if Ahmes can’t help but feel like his own knight was one of those intruders more time than not. 

As for Junos, his childhood acquaintance and future right hand Phantom who was today’s intruder, he...he isn’t sure what to make of him. He knows the other isn’t out to get Ahmes or Toshiki. If he wanted to report on what the two did and how they acted behind closed doors, he could have easily done so. The motivation was there too considering his position was of much lower than the younger male’s own. Despite that however, Junos has provided the prince with advice or company on some occasions, such as right now when Toshiki was resting after going through yet another punishment because of the prince. 

He definitely wasn't a bad guy. He was just too hard to read to know just what he was really thinking the majority of the time. That was most likely intentional. He was apart of the Phantoms, after all. They were experts of getting information and keeping information close to the chest. It’s why they’re so valuable to his father. 

Though, it seems like for once, Junos was being up front with him, bluntly asking if he could take a little nibble of the blue-eyed human sleeping on the other side of the room. Ahmes’ face flushing red as he quickly moves a hand to cover his mouth to mask the audible scream he made in response in an attempt to not wake the sleeping Toshiki or altert Percival who was standing guard outside. He so did not need to hear this after what he just went through earlier...

“Ehhhhhh?! You...You want to...do what?!” Even with the dim lighting of the room, the red on the royal’s face was as ruby as his eyes were. Was the color out of anger or embarrassment? Honestly, not even Ahmes is sure. “Junos, you know there are things you shouldn’t make a jest about...”

A pause then as he lowers his hand from his mouth, the prince’s eyes blinking there for a few moments before he keeps going. “You are making a jest, right? You aren’t seriously asking me if you can take a bite out of Toshiki’s neck...”

Armada Review episode 9-13

I am putting the read more so that you do not have to read all of this if you do not want to. This is a review for episodes 9-13  season 1 and again, a reminder, these are my thoughts, if you don’t agree with what I have to say that fine but please respect my thought and opinions on what I think about the serious.

Okay so we at the end of this season which mean will be going into season 2 and oh boy I am hipped because that things started to fall into place and kinda where I watch the serious more. But where not here to talk about season 2 and we not here to talk about season 1 as a whole, that in another post which here is the link if you want to read the summer of my review for the whole season as a whole and what I think was good, what need to be fix and what things really made it good or bad.

Anyway, so here the review for 9-13 starting with.

season 1 episode 9 Confrontation:

Okay, so this is the episode that come back from a previous episode of which was call Carnival, and if you read my review on that episode that was the episode that was just not a good episode in my opinion. So you think I would hate this episode too. No, it not that bad and in fact it make more of a point of why that episode was pointless. So it pick up with the bullies Billy and Fred, talking about seeing the Autobots and them talking about how they might be evil or not good, and them saying some thing about them being from the future. Which just made me laugh and insert joke here: 

I know I’m a nerd.

But it was mostly them talking about what happen and how no one, saw anything that day. Even thought I call bull shit on that, but still the bullies see are young main children hero heading to the Autobot base and try to follow them, before all of the kids are confuted with Cyclonus, who kidnaps the the bullies, which turn make the Autobot have to go and get them, they ask for the min cons they say no, they fight. Which end up with the other main kids and bullies getting taken hoisted by Megatron, which in turn force them to have to give up there min cons to save the kids, however Rad is able to use Laserbake to shock Megatron into drop the other kids expect himself, which then Fred, fight back with Laserbeak and even ask Megatron min con why they can’t be friends which stunts him because I guess he never thought about that? And then it end with Hotshot kick Fred out of Megatron hand saving him and having the Depections retreat. Fred and Billy are welcome into the team, even thought they are later not show in this season expect till the last of this season episode 13 Swoop. 

So overall this episode has some pro and cons to it. The pros, I like that they show that this kid can get kidnap by the Depections and that even thought technically Fred and Billy are not on the Autobot team or with the other kids Optimus still calls them his kids and want to project them and the Autobots care about them too. I also thought it was interesting about Fred talking to the Megatron min con not only is that brave to do but this could have gone into a very interesting scenario, does the min con really follow Megatron because it wants too or does it do it out of fear, which you could say he does do it out of fear but he almost seem like he could have made a choose to not listen to Megatron. 

Which if they had gone that route, rather then having Fred get upset and leave, I think it would have been interesting to see what Megatron does and how he act to a min con not listening or obeying him. He already wanting more power and to control the min con, to just have one not obey him, would have show us that the min con have in fact choose and even could have show what Megatron would do to a min con who didn’t listen to him. They could have even gotten dark and crush the min con and that would have made interesting impact to the serious. 

However, they didn’t do that but if they had, I think it would be just amazing to see them dare to do something like that to a min con during the first season. I mean we do see him later in this season forcing a min con to wake up, but to see him kill one would just be interesting. 

So the cons, this episode had too many back and for, kids are kidnap, then they are not, and then they are again. They don’t fight for every long and I feel like the other kids were a little to mean to Fred and Billy in the began when Alexia ask if they were going to join them and they laugh it off as if they are not important. I am summing they are for jokes. But honestly, I think if any character should be treat with more repeat it Fred, he always the butt of the joke about bring fat but he really has a good heart and I just feel bad that he treat so wrong. Maybe that why I somewhat like this episode but at the same time didn’t think this is one you need to see. The only reason to see it would be because you would need to know why Fred and Billy are know part of the Autobot team. Other then that it an episode you could skip. 

The next episode however, oh boy here we go!! 

Season 1 Episode 10 Underground: 

Oh my god, this was the episode that I love the most only because of one reason and one reason only. It gave us Smokescreen!!

No, no, not that Smokescreen, that from Prime.

Yes!! This beautiful old guy that I like to call grandpa of the team and you can not tell me otherwise. That what he is to me and always will be! He is the wonderful commandment of Kup and Ratchet or any older mech from the transformers serious and I just love him so much! 

But I getting off track, so this episode is about there being a min con in the city subway, the Autobot, children and Depiction are looking for the min con down in the subways. The children fine the min con on their own, are attacked by the min con that the Depiction told to search by themself because they can’t really transformer down in the subway like the Autobots can. 

The children run from the min con and some mysterious robot, that they children think it might be a Depiction when it only are good old friend Smokescreen who come to save the children from the Depiction who tried to kill them to get the min con, which cause them to get buried by rocks, Cyclonus get his first min con which is somewhat strong but isn’t really that as strong as Starscream. They retried and the Autobot go to save the kids only to see there good old friend Smokesceen has project the children and has finally reunited with the Autobot after he got separated from them when they first when to come down to earth and is know part of the Autobot team!

This episode start off a bit slow but it is worth it at the end to fine out that we get a new Autobot join the team, and this is where the serious become really inserting because of reason I will later talk about in other season to come as why this become inserting and make the show really good.

 For know Smokesceen off the bat, has this old man, won’t take shit from anyone, and is a really close friend to everyone, he also a very good fighter and I just love his voice, it the type of voice that sound very kick ass old man voice that you get from a lot of characters in show. It just a good voice that fix the character so well. I just loved how he fight with his hook and he just is overall a good interaction to talk about other Autobot past as well as being helpful for in the next episodes with fighting the Depiction because they are know out number with this new addition to the team.  So I do recommend this episode just because it bring in a very cool and wonderful character to the mix!

The next episode is season 1 episode 11 Ruin

This episode was really interesting and began to bring up a lot of question which I loved so much!

So the Autobots get this messaged from a hologram of a girl from a ancient city that has sank along time ago. They messaged at the began is asking for help, they go down to the city and are right way having to fight the Depection while Optimus who has the children, get shot at and has to quickly bring them into the city before he leave to fight the Depection while the chidren have to go into the city because they have to look for the min con. While they are there, they fine out the truth of why their city was sank to the ground and discover a truth about how powerful the min con are especially the min cons that form the Star Saber and how dangerous it is for them to be in the wrong hands.

 The Depection get one of the min con that forms the Star Saber and The city falls and get distorted and leave Carlos heart broken about not being able to save the pretty hologram girl who he was very much wanting to save her image and help her from being erased, which then Rad comforts him and tell him that he might see her again some day. 

So, first I just want to point out this, I was looking at the wiki for Carlos and the first thing it has on there for an instruction to him is this: 

If you having a hard time reading it, I’ll just get you to the point you to the words that is very cringe and focus on this pacific episode. “Fantasizes about holographic dead girls” no joke, that is what it say! 

It blow my mind that is the instruction to Carlos in the wiki has for poor Carlos and I want to defined him on this because this is a bad instruction to a character that isn’t really that bad. First it is only one girl not girls! He not think about hologram girl all the time, just one.

Second Carlos, just is a kind and caring person who just wanted to keep her image alive. He wasn’t fantasying about her because he thought she was beautiful, even thought she is and he did like her look. I think there was more to it then just that. He wanted to save her from being erase and forgot by time.  He wanted to make her last moments not so sad and painful, even if she not real and is only a hologram. Yes, this serious can be corny and silly, but Carlos, just care about her and want to saver her that it.

Other then that this episode was good, and it help bring around the idea about maybe no one should be controlling the min cons and that there might be more to the story then what the children or audience know. We can’t just assume that what the Autobot are doing better then what the Depection are doing. Yes, they wear the end and purple badges but there more to it then just that and this episode and the next one, it wonderful bring that up and make you question what they are doing.

With that said in the next episode Season 1 episode 12 Prehistory

In this episode Rad start question the Autobot about why they need the min cons. He ask why they can’t just stop fighting and why do the Autobot get to make the choose and not the min cons. Which then Optimus Prime, start talking about the history of their war, about foreshadowing a big mystery about the min cons that they just came out of the blue and that they where very strong and where stared to be use by the Depections and other to fight in the war. He talk about sending them away, and later in the show, they another signal for a min con which is most like the Star Saber that has been foreshadowing for some time again and they go to get it off of an amusement park that as a volcano that is active and is going off. The Depection and Autobot start fight, the children hide with the autobot min cons, until the see the min con in the volcano and the min cons that are working with the Autobot finally start help and make the Rad see that the min cons do in fact have a choose to fight with the Autobot or not. 

After a while they are able to get the min con and finally are able to convents the children to keep believing in them and trusting what they are doing is right.

This episode brought a lot of question and also made me think about things. On one hand, yes what the Autobot are doing is right, they trying to save the min cons from going into the wrong hands, but also at the same time the problem raise with them want to use them to project them, and yes, the min cons that are working with the Autobots do want to help but it does set up a lot of question if what they are doing is right and if when everything is over, will thing be change or will they turn on the min cons. 

It really make you think with both of these episode together about if the Autobots are really good or not, and why they are still fight for so long before the min cons came into being, they say the Deceptions were righting to gain power, but because I have read mtmte and other comics it make me think that maybe Optimus is somewhat make the story a bit more different then it really is, honestly I think the Depections want to be treat equality and the Autbots didn’t want that again we don’t get the side of the story from the Depections and even if we did we wouldn’t be sure if we could turn Megatron to tell the story correctly or not, maybe Starscream would but it bring up a question about trust in story and what other say. This episode is really intresting and I love to know what you think, do you think Optimus might have been elaborating the story a bit or do you think he was being honest?

Finally we get to the last episode of the season and the one of most turning point of the serious. 

Season 1 episode 13 Swoop

In this episode the Depection figure out a way to brake into the base and try to steal the two min cons that make the Star Saber, the Autobot try to project them with there base, meanwhile Fred and Billy get caught up in all of this when there being show around which cause the Autobots to lower there defeats because they have to project the kids from getting hurt, the other Alexia, Carros and Rad go to save Fred and Billy from getting hurt and are even able to trick Cyclonus in a very claver way. Which then the Autobot have to face off with each Depection to get them either trap, hurt or even both, to keep them from getting the min cons.

However, Megatron is able to make them form into the Star Saber but luckily Hotshot is able to not only use the min cons but also us it to damaged Megatron a little bit before he retires and the Autobot know have the powerful Star saber which is given to Hotshot to use to fight the Depections. Megatron scream that he will get them next time you know team rocket style and that is the end of the season!! 

So with this episode how did I feel well. 

It was okay! It wasn’t as good as the other once before it, but for the finally, it was a good episode to end on. It show the Autbots how they would handle if the Depections did brake into their base. How each one use there strangest and teamwork to keep everyone safe. Even the kids thought of a great idea that was very good way to get ride one of the Depections. Optimus and Megatron had a good fight and I thought it was great that Optimus didn’t get the Star Saber and Hotshot was the one to use it because he was able to use his skill and the in encouraging of the kids to fight Megatron. I also thought it was so cool to see Megatron antler be cut off like that showing how strong that sword is and how embarrassing that has to be get his ass kick not by Optimus but by young Hotshot. So overall this is a good episode to end the serious and wrap up everything nice for the most part and really hypes you up for the next season.  

So, I do recommend this episodes the biggest one I think not to miss are the episode 10-13 just because they bring the whole serious together and it just a lot of fun. The animation is good in this episode too, even thought there are some funny moment with the animation but mostly there really well draw and the music is good too. Overall yeah, I say go watch this episode sometime soon because there worth watch them and I had a lot of fun rewatching this episode. It brought me back to my childhood and why I love Transformers so much.

Prompt: 'knowing your best friend inside out: friends to lovers' (Space!Mark x Y/N)

(based on request by @cookieface678 - I lost your ask bc I accidentally posted it as a WIP and panicked).

He failed his final engineering exam four times.

He tells everyone his favourite colour is blue but it's actually red. The same red as the emergency alarm funnily enough.

He hates Celcie because she told the examiner that he was cheating during his final presentation in Space College (which was untrue, he's just that good at memorising schematics).

He talks in his sleep. Usually about Chica.

He always goes without sugar in his coffee just so there's enough left for the Captain.

He sleeps with his socks on (the heathen).

When the light hits his face in the morning it makes his hair look golden.

The first time they kissed, his hands shook.

He has a cresent moon shaped burn scar on his upper arm which he'll never admit was from trying to bottle flip a soldering iron.

He likes being called 'Babe' a little too much.

Things Mark Knows About The Captain

They hate being saulted because it makes them feel like an imposter.

They passed their Captain's exam whilst they were high on glue from re-decorating their kitchen.

They have never shot a gun or laser.

I saw you want fluff! How about a scenario with Octavinelle where MC is really kind, works hard to help friends, and gives gifts to them, and she confesses to them one day it’s because she grew up feeling lonely and that’s how she used to want to be treated so that’s why she treats them so well? I figured that’d be really soft, I hope that fits what you’re looking for!

warnings: none

she/her mc

"Eeh, shrimpy stopped by today again!" Floyd's happy chiming alterted Jade and Azul of the girl entering the lounge. It wasn't a busy hour- it was a wednesday afternoon, a bit too early for people to be arriving, but she did tend to drop by whenever she could.

"I hope I'm not intruding," she said with a smile, showing a small bag she held. "but I made some snacks and I was hoping to share them before you got three too busy."

"My, how considerate. Have a seat, I'll fetch some tea, it's the least I can do as thanks for your gifts." Jade, graceful as always, pointed her to a table so she could set her stuff down before making his way to the kitchen.

"You're always welcome here in the lounge, don't worry about dropping by unnanounced." said Azul, taking a seat next to her. "It's nice to have some company other than the twins, and your gifts are always quite nice."

"You have to drop by more, shrimpy! Azul gets all mopey when you don't show up!" Exclaimed Floyd with a big smile, making Azul choke on air as he turned to the eel, face red as he sputtered words such as 'don't say that in front of her!'.

"Floyd, be more sensitive- it seems Azul is a hit shy about her." Jade chuckled from the kitchen door, arriving at the right moment to witness Azul's conundrum. The girl giggled into her hand: most people were quite scared of the infamous Octavinelle trio, but... Once they'd warmed up to her, their silly antics kept her well entertained.

"I'm glad you don't mind my company, Azul." chuckled the girl, trying to ignore the slight blush in her face. "I'm just glad I'm not a bother, really!"

"Hm? Why would we think of you as a bother?" asked Jade, raising an eyebrow.

"Eeeh?! No way! I love hanging out with shrimpy! It's wa~ay more of a bother when you arent around!" Floyd replied loudly, leaning over the table to squish the girl's cheeks.

"Floyd, don't do that, give her space." Azul tapped the table, trying to get the eel to stop pinching the girl's cheeks while she giggled.

"Eheh- I'm sorry if that upset you, I just... Well, I'm just glad to be close with you three." once her cheeks were free, she was able to speak again. Jade served her some tea, and she reached for the sugar. "I... Hmm, well, I grew up pretty lonely, so... I like to think if I had met someone who spent time with me and stuff, I'd have been really happy; so now I just hope I'm making you happy like that."

"Shrimpy was alone...? That's too cruel! Waah, I don't wanna let you go now!" Floyd seemed to be insnantly moved, jumping out his chair to tackle the girl into a tight hug.

"Floyd..." Jade's sigh made the man whine a bit, but he set the girl down. She regained her balance, and straightened her uniform, as Jade offered his hand for her to sit down again. "Well, it doesn't matter how the lonely your past was now- because now you've got all three of us, no? I hope you feel as fulfilled as I do when sharing tea like this."

"It's as Jade says, seashell- I'm quite happy you trust us enough to talk about your past like that. Certainly not many students would," said Azul with a chuckle, though his eyes remained kind. "Always know that no matter what, us three will welcome you with open arms, be it here in the lounge or anywhere else."

So @taylornation capitalised “RED ALTERT”:

How were we ‘ALERTED’ to the ‘RED’ album?

Bright red shoes standing out against an otherwise dark background.

“One of these things is not like the others” is more clarification that something is clearly standing out against the rest/the background”

So we need to look for something that either stands out against a background or doesn’t fit in with the rest of the theme!!

What do we think???

Campaign Log Session 4

The party agrees that Corrin is best off dead, and that they need to be swift about it. They arrive at his house just after dawn with Lukas in shackles, pretending to deliver their quarry.  They act the deal through until they’re paid and asked to leave, Corrin acting on his best behaviour despite being called out of bed and being rather rudely spoken to. 

As the tension begins to build, Duncan opens combat by attempting to stab Corrin. The fight breaks out, Corrin’s butler, Baxley is alterted and begins running to alert the guards, while Corrin attempts to fend off his assailants. The butler is knocked unconscious by Ferluci and the others focus on Corrin. Lukas breaks free of his shackles (Which had been locked for realism’s sake) and joins the fight. 

As Corrin accumulates a fair amount of damage he figures he needs to get to his vestiges and sword and begins to flee. He retreats to the stairs in his study to try and make it to his chambers, but before he can, he is intercepted and killed by Ferluci, who stabs him in the throat. With threats eliminated, the party deides to comb the place for information and answers. They find various leads of evidence, and Corrin’s vault, having stored a fair amount of money, enough so to buy a brand new bag of Holding.

Aside from more insight on the situation in Marquet, involving dragons and seemingy a nocturnal threat, they find the vocal disapproval of Corrin’s actions from one of the council members. They find a warning of a group of entertaining travelers,their possibly malicious intent and that they might require investigating.  They find a will which has been tampered with, and also a note from some form of magical research facility about one of the children they were researching having escaped, the tone is rather dehumanizing, but to please return them to them. (They also find some unsanitary magically enchanted items, and some armor... they steal a couple religious statuettes of the Changebringer.)

Last but not least they find a note about the uncovering of a dragon egg, several centuries old, and by some miracle in some alive state, by nature the egg is red, but has dull spots and even green diseased spots, the cause of this unknown. One thing is certain, it was found at the Scar of the Cinder King, a place sealed off for good reason.

Stitches takes it upon himself to make it look like the Butler murdered Corrin for financial gains and frames him, leaving a cursed sword as the supposed lethal weapon. 

The party gets out before other servants arrive from morning duties, and split up: Lukas and Duncan are to speak with Arnes, a spireling which has taken on a more organizational and motivational role for this partiuclar issue, to report the good news. While Ferluci and Stitches go to Gilmore’s, to ask about the egg and it’s health. Unable to tell them much, Gilmore refers them to either of his siblings who may know more, Mirren, Valael Gilmore’s daughter, is meanwhile asked out for coffee by stitches, and the two leave to have a breakfast (and second breakfast) respectively.

Peter’s Ridiculous Politeness

(First fanfic I’ve posted on here. Tony decided to keep the tower. The avengers are pardoned. Pre-Infinity War. Bucky and T’challa are still in Wakanda. Scott is with Cassie. No one will most likely ever read this)

Peter is the biggest dork to ever dork in the history of dorks. And he knows it. Which is why he was rightfully nervous about meeting the avengers when they returned to the tower after being pardoned. Obviously he was thrilled to meet his heroes but he knew, without a doubt, he was going to make an utter fool of himself.

—————————————————————

They came to the tower one by one. The first newly pardoned avenger he met was Natasha. He walked into one of the many living rooms in the tower and stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of THE Black Widow sitting on the couch. After he removes his chin from the floor and collects himself he cleares his throat to let his presence be known - like she didn’t know he was there the moment he walked in. She turned to him with one perfect eyebrow raised and all his sense of calm goes out the window. “Hi miss Natasha Romanoff Black Widow Avenger ma’am. I’m Peter Parker.” She observes him with a critical eye for the longest 15 seconds of his life then gives a curt nod and turns back to the tv. Peter breathes a sigh of relief and practically sprints out of the room missing the small smirk the red-haired avenger has in her face.

—————————————————————

The second avenger he has the pleasure- and displeasure- to run into is Clint. He discovers the bird-themed avenger the next day in the same place he discovered Natasha. He decides he is never using this living room again. He lets out a little squeak of surprise which catches the archers attention. He turns to him with an eerily familiar raised eyebrow and an unamused expression on his face. He lets out another squeak and tries to calmly introduce himself. He fails miserably. “Hi Mr.Clint Barton Hawkeye Avenger sir. I’m Peter Parker.” The archer give him a much warmer response and flat out laughs in his face before stating “Call me Clint kid.” and turning back to his movie - “The Hunger Games” Peter notes with surprise amusement.

—————————————————————

The next time he meets an avenger isn’t until a week later. He has just finished patrol and is still full of energy because of May’s Spider-Man curfew and decides to take advantage of the tower’s spectacular gym. He isn’t the only one with this idea. He opens the door to find none other than freaking CAPTAIN AMERICA going at it with one of the private gym’s many punching bags. The glass door closing harshly alterts the super soldier to his presence and Peter silently flails. Steve turns to see who joined him and looked quite confused to see a teenager gaping at him. “Uhm,” Peter stutters our before getting a hold of himself. “Hi Mr. Steve Rodgers Captain America avenger sir.” I’m peter Parker.” The Captain smiles warmly and sticks ou his hand to shake. “You can just call me Steve son. It’s nice to meet you.” Peter shakes his hand for an uncomfortably long time and before stuttering out a sloppy apology and and hastily leaving he gym.

—————————————————————

He meets two avengers at once next. He takes a break from his homework and wanders toward the kitchen for a snack. Instead he finds Vision and Wanda cooking something that smells amazing. They spot him as soon as he walks in. He once again gives a “very eloquent” greeting. “Hi miss Wanda Maxamoff Scarlet Witch avenger Ma’am. Hi Mr. Vision robot avenger sir. I’m Peter Parker.” “Hello.” Vision replies with a nod then turns back to the food. “Nice to meet you.” Wanda finishes for him with a thick accent. Peter smiles and leaves, his reason for going there in the first place forgotten.

—————————————————————

His last meeting with an avenger was by far the worst. For once it was an avenger who walked in on him rather than the other way around. He sits eating cold pizza at the kitchen counter when Sam walks in. Peter doesn’t jump, his spidey-sense having had alerted him to his presence. “Hi Mr. Sam Wilson Falcon avenger sir. I’m Peter Parker.” Sam huffs, glares, spins on his heel, and walks right back out the door. Peter frowns not knowing what he did wrong.

—————————————————————

“They like you.” Peter gives Tony an unsure look. “I don’t think Mr. Wilson and miss Romanoff do.” Tony Shrugs. “Nat always acts like that and Sam doesn’t like kids.” He pauses. “They’re not very found of him either.” He finishes with a grin. Peter nods. He’s not convinced. Tony sighs. “Clint laughed for a sold five minutes after he told me how you introduced yourself. Steve said you seemed like a good kid and told me to tell you that you’re welcome to join him in the gym anytime. He told me he’d tell you himself but didn’t want to make you uncomfortable. Vision and Wanda said good things about ya too. From what I’ve heard you’re waaaaay too polite kid.” Peter barely heard his last comment to bush grinning ear-to-ear and trying not to squeal. The Avengers liked him!

(Sorry if this is terrible. I should not be up this late and I don’t feel like editing it so it probably sucks. I just had this idea and wanted to write it. It’s not like anyone will read it anyway)

A really cool dream I had about Voltron

Dreamworks paired up with WB animation or something to create a crossover event that would promote Voltron before it ended. The short was 45 minutes- 1hour long in a lose geometric 3d/2d Disney/ anime style (think Dragon Prince meets HNK) and aimed to introduce characters new and old. It was a dream so some parts were weird and nonsensical, but I can pin down its plot. Voltron from the reboot show is being normal, doing its thing by the beginning of the short when meanwhile an alternate Galra empire from "Into the 3rd Dimension" for some reason launches a Quantum Alterting device that could change Voltron's universe as we know it. Because of the device the Voltron Robot from the 1980s TV show and "Into the Third Dimension" end up crashing onto the planet that the current Voltron robot is hanging out on. The characters were a little different though because the version of Lance that was in the red lion of the other Voltron has a teenage daughter who dreams of being a pilot and a paladin one day, but her dad wouldn't let her. The introductions are amicable enough and the other Lance is a leaderly serious type that the Lance that we know thinks is boring and a wet rag. The rest of the team that we know, however loves this grownup version of Lance, this makes our Lance jealous and determined to prove himself.

Lance says a line that's like "He's like Batman-- and I hate batman." And Pidge tells him to knock it off.

The Voltron reboot team and the original team check out each other's lions and eventually check out Voltron, comparing the specs. The original team admits that the younger reboot team has a more powerful robot and the Voltron team thinks that the older team has a more stylish looking bot. Meanwhile, weird things are happening to the strings in their dimension and it takes a while for Voltron to notice. The teenage daughter begs her father to shadow one of the reboot paladins, arguing that they aren't much older than her. The teenage daughter is about 13-15 years old. Dad Lance agrees and she chooses to shadow young Lance in the Blue Lion (for some reason this takes place separate from the Lion swap). Lance isn't too thrilled, but she's over his shoulder anyway wearing a matching paladin suit.

Both Voltrons fly into space to patrol and the Reboot Voltron is attacked by some of the altering stuff of the dimension from the device. The old Voltron is like "Hey! You gotta watch out, that stuff seems to altering this dimension and if it touches you it could probably destroy Voltron and you!"

Eventually because of tension between young Lance and his alternate daughter, she chooses to shadow Shiro instead, saying that he's more like her dad than this Lance. Lance becomes more insecure and mad.

Now the daughter is wearing a smaller version of Shiro's Black Paladin suit.

A lot of stuff happens, the device makes the Quanta in their universe worse, Lance flies off on his own in a huff and finds the device. He brings it back with a hunch about it and Old Lance is like, "that thing is a time bomb we gotta destroy it safely." So young Lance makes a plan about throwing it in a black hole where time alters severely naturally and it'll dissapate when it reaches the singularity or be suspended in time indefinitely and keep their dimension safe. They all agree to the plan and Pidge says that the device is relatively small but the lions are too big to get near the event horizon safely without possibly being sucked in to the Black hole. So Lance Volunteers to fly near the event horizon and throw the device in. Shiro is like "nuh uh you ain't doing this alone." And tags along, and the Daughter is like "so am I." But the dad's like "no way." And she makes a fuss about how one day she'll want to be a paladin and that risks are what paladins take and "you can't protect me forever dad!" And the Dad is like, "..." "Aight, but forreal I can't afford to lose you."

And she makes a promise about coming back. So Lance, Shiro and the girl go out and push the device (which is about size of john deer tractor) towards the event horizon and the dimension is being more quirky and strange because of its unravelling and both teams are freaking out, saying that they need a large amount of energy to push it into the event horizon and reverse the adverse effects of the device.

Thsey find that energy, use it and as a team the three of them push the device past the event horizon.

And then I woke up, but I'm sure Lance learned a weird Lesson about leadership from Shiro and his alternate daughter.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking.  Red is gonna tell his truth to Liz through Agnes. He’s gonna whisper it to her. 

Tom chose Grandma’s Pumpkins. 

Tom: I like this one. Liz: Grandma’s Pumpkins? Tom: Grandma’s what? Liz: I know it’s ridiculous. (What people say of the Rederina theory)

Liz told Red his shirt looks like a pumpkin. 

Liz: Thank you, you look - What is that? Red: I only brought one suit. I had to borrow something from Paolo. Liz: What color is that, pumpkin? It looks like a pumpkin. Red: His wife says it’s Tuscan Sunset.

Then Red used pumpkin as the altert word. 

Red: If anyone shows up, the alert word is “pumpkin.”

No one showed up, so it’s gonna play out with the box in Liz’s vent. 

Liz: It’s not the room. It’s just that someone invaded our lives, our house. They put that stupid box in the floor.

Rainy days playing opposite bloody nights. 

Red: If anyone shows up, the alert word is “pumpkin.”

Parenting Groot was something that came naturally to Drax, Peter, while he had to learn, came to it soon enough and even did a halfway decent job. Gamora tried in her own way, looking after him with equal measure of sternness and gentility. It did not come to Rocket at all. Many a times he would see Groot out of the corner of his eye, his large expectant gaze and would wander closer, one step at a time before someone, (usually Drax) would pick him up and escort him, protesting from the vicinity. After a long night of drinking, of staring at those inanimate twigs in his box, Rocket volleyed back and forth between trying to make the best of it, grieve for his best friend while raising this new version of him with the care and devotion he deserved and between letting it consume him. His blindness, his will full ignorance, his cruelty to Groot when he had been alive, all of it. Nightmares continued to beset him even as he was awake and working. For the first time in his short life, Rocket did not fight them. He picked up the reactor in one hand and plugged it into the isolator, electricity vaulted through his hands, as he closed his eyes against the burning sting images of those odd people in the odd masks looked down upong him.

Sometimes they were people, sometimes they were just entities. Rocket shook his hand out, opening his eyes once more to the reality of the churning engine. He tried the plug in again, this time making sure to attach a new head to the wires first. Between blinks his thoughts sent him back to that laboratory where they strapped him down and cut into him. Rocket shook his head, focusing on making the connection into the isolator. It worked with a fizz and a whirr and he forced himself to smile at his work. But the ever-moving engine seemed to whisper to him.

“Rocket is ready for the procedure sir,” said a female voice. Gamora? Rocket’s mind wondered, even as he searched around through boxes and cases of machine parts. In his thoughts, he could hazily recognize her voice. Another scientist shook his head, knife in his hand.

“Not Rocket. Rocket isn’t even his real name.” The doctor smiled and while his eyes were examining the remints of an engine from a transport ship they had plundered, Rocket could see plain as day the scientist with the dirty blonde hair, Star-Stupid. “Subject 89P13.” The raccoon like creature dropped the tools in his hands, stomach falling to his feet. With that Peter brought the knife down and Rocket, who had nothing left in him if he didn’t have Groot, lay there in his own mind, ready and waiting. People talked about seeing a light when they died. Rocket hoped beyond all hope that if and when he saw that light, that it would be the small, yellow, glowing lights of Groot’s spores.

“Please,” he begged aloud as he worked. “Please, mercy. I know I’ve been rotten but…” He grabbed a wrench lying on the floor and attempted to pry the knob of the transport engine open. ”I just want to see Groot’s spores of light…that’s all I want…” he was denied. Cursing aloud as the knob snapped off and broke with all the force he’d wrenched upon it.

“I am Groot!” Rocket’s ears pricked up, for one hopeful second he turned. Expecting to see his fully-formed friend crouched over and smiling at him. On instinct he looked upward over his head,

“Oh,” he said dully. Groot only cocked his head confused. “It’s you.” Rocket said flatly, he shrugged, wiping the sweat from his fur and looked as little Groot stared up at him. Can he…can he see me?

“I am Groot?”

“What you lookin’ at me like that for?” He demanded through gritted teeth. Groot only blinked, slowly twirling the little leaf that had grown out of his now-healed arm.

“I am Groot,” the flora colossus pointed out. Rocket picked up the wrench he’d dropped, clutching it tight to direct his misguided aggressive impulse.

“I ain’!” He snapped, “it’s just that you ain’t….you ain’t you anymore flark it!”

“I am Groot?” The little thing cocked his head curiously.

“Yo Rocket! You got that isolator fixed yet?” Star-b*tch shouted from the cock-pit.

“Of course I fixed it!”

“Good cuz’ wer’re gonna need it, we gotta couple of Gundarian rouges on our tail!” Flark it. Rocket started towards the cock-pit before Groot could follow him.

“A’right then I’m comin’.” He hollard back climbing up the latter. It only occurred to him after the exchange that this was these were the first non-hostile words he and Star-Ass had exchanged since their fight.

“They must have spotted you at the bar while you were busy,”

“Fighting for my life!” Peter interrupted Gamora when Rocket entered, closely followed by Groot who tried to reach his vines out towards the enhanced creature. Rocket’s tail flicked them away as he climbed up into the co-pilot seat.

“Well no matter what you were doing they followed us.” Peter opened his mouth for some smug retort but the pinging flash of bullets against the ship cut him off. They rolled to the left, only to see a Gunarian ship.

“Aww Flark, they’re R900’s” Rocket identified.

“What is what?” Peter asked, dodging another round of fire.

“Those ships Star-Dork,” Rocket began to pound out controls on his pad before the Milano bumped violently. Groot let out a pathetic yelp as the ship careened away from more fire. A twinge of sympathy rang deep in Rocket’s chest for the little flora colossus but he shoved it aside and quickly fired the Milano’s rear rapid-fire guns. One under each wing to perfectly target enemies from behind. Designed and installed by his own hands.

“Rocket fire!” Gamora ordered as Peter quickly swung the ship around an asteroid. Grade-A 95 caliber Esanzo bullets exploded around them.

“Yah don’t need to tell me twice!” Rocket reveled in the adrenaline rush that came from firing back some rounds of his own. No one called you a rodent when you could blast their head fifty jumps away off their shoulders. You didn’t seem as small when you had such big weapons. Rocket had learned long ago to substitute fear and terror for respect and acceptance. Until Groot, he let loose another round, watching through his comm consul as his bullets struck the two Gunarian ships behind them.

“This ship is slow,” Drax observed begrudgingly. As if in retort the Milano flipped, the lights flashed, then blinked off and Rocket bit his tongue as he felt them plummet several feet. Eyes flashing to his consul, Flark nuts, the Gunarian’s had managed to take out the end of the Milano’s right wing, and Rocket’s rear gun attached to it now spun through space firing the last of its rounds at random. The ship leaned to the right, Groot squeaked, trying to grow his vines out to latch on to the nearest grounded object. Drax caught him in one hand putting him protectively against his chest.

“Peter we have to land!” Gamora shouted, she’d caught herself against the far wall of the cock-pit. Light flashed off the Milano as the bullets hit the exterior like the pitter patter of rain.

“Where?!” Peter frantically steered the ship to the left trying to balance it out as he whirled the Milano around another asteroid. Rocket clenched his teeth, firing off the remaining rear gun. If Groot were his full size, he could take over while Rocket tried to rig up a second gun. Humoring the thought Rocket spared a glance over his shoulder to see Groot, eyes wildly darting back and forth with every bullet against the ship. He trembled, trying to grow his vines out to hold on. Drax evidently had let him go and was attempting to pull himself upright. Groot needs you, Rocket knew it but turned back to return fire. Peter thrusted the ship upward with remaining wing, over another large asteroid.

“Alert, alert, alert,” the alarm blared. Rocket’s heart hammered, ears flicked back and fur on end. Where was Groot?! He searched around for him, he needed to perch up on the big guy’s shoulders. Some primal need within him screamed at him to get up high, to be off the ground nestled away from danger. Panic and longing like waves crashed into each other through his stomach as he looked again at Groot. Only to see the small flora colossus petrified. No relief to be found there anymore the fangs of that fact bit into Rocket harder then he could imagine. Channeling the pain, he punched out more rounds on the rival ships. Letting the bangs over power his own inner screaming. “Wvax is closest,” Gamora craned her neck over the chair she’d climbed to. “It’s only two jumps.” The ship shuttered, swinging to the side, slowly losing altitude while the Gunasian’s fired once more,

“Alert, altert, alert,” the cabin flashed with red light.

“Flark! Right engine’s hit!” Rocket growled. Groot yelped again as the glass cracked on the windows.

“Alert, alert, alert.” The urgent red light flashed. “Hold on to something!” Peter called as they hurled through the first jump. The Milano swerved and swiveled with a stomach tilting jerk as it went through the jump. Groot screamed, sliding down the floor towards the stair-well. Gamora huffed, buckling her seat-belt once more and turned to frantically punched her own consul trying to see if the Gunarian ship had followed them. Drax held on to the overhead pipes of the ship, shouting at Peter who ignored him and was attempting to steet the Milano straight though it continued to glide downward.

“Groot you idiot! Flark it!” If Groot were grown he could be operating these controls right now! If Groot were grown, if he hadn’t…hadn’t sacrificed himself and died…then they wouldn’t even be in this situation. Groot got hurt on Trator because Rocket had not intervened soon enough, you said you’d do better, Groot said forever. After he had saved him, from those retrieval teams from Halfworld. When Rocket was just learning of the world outside his cage, sick and realizing that freedom was not as sweet as he had dreamed. Groot, in all his gentle sweetness had taken them all down as Rocket, unarmed, watched from his shoulders. How many pieces of bark had been lost? Groot had taken at least a hundred hits for Rocket in their partnership, one hundred too many. Rocket watched while his brand new….ally? took down the retrieval crew with nothing but his whipping vines and pointed thorns, grown out from him in place of leaves. When it was over, Rocket remembered how he’d been grazed by one of the laser rifles across the side. Groot’s worried eyes, he remembered Groot holding him tightly and growing a cocoon around the two of them like he had done on the Dark Aster.

“Second jump coming up!” Peter’s voice broke through Rocket’s thoughts. More artillery sounded an the Milano buckled banking lower, Groot screamed as they were hurled downward.

“Groot!”

“Alert, alert, alert,” the lights flashed and Rocket unfastened himself from the seat, diving for the little tree. There was a sickening drop and the enhanced creature wound his body around Groot, the same way he recalled Groot doing for him so long ago.

“I am Groot,” Rocket could still hear it now.

“Don’t be sorry, bud.” The first time Rocket called him that. “You…you saved my life…” he didn’t think his life was worth saving. What life did a weaponized experiment have? A scientific creation, a monstrosity. Groot grew green leaves over his wound and looked at Rocket, those small yellow spores glowing all around them. In this shelter, Rocket forgot the dark dirty alley way they had been fighting in.

With the second jump the Milano was in Wvax’s atmosphere only one more Gunarian ship followed them. With relief Rocket felt this Groot’s hands wind through his fur, clutching it.

“Rocket damn it where are you?! We need you up here shooting them!” Peter hollered over his shoulder. I’m right where I need to be, Rocket knew looking down at this Groot who’s eyes were squeezed shut. Rocket had been the one in fear when Groot held him on that backwater planet.

“What are we gonna do Groot?” He’d whispered, his own mind still living in the fog of what had been done to them. His side ached with pain despite Groot’s best efforts.

“I am Groot,” the flora colossus reassured, slowly pulling Rocket against his chest. The first time in his strange existence that Rocket did not resist touch, the first time he had felt affection in those wooden arms, so stable and secure. “I am Groot.” Rocket collapsed in that embrace, allowing himself to let tears of exhaustion run down his face. Now he watched little Groot try to burry himself in his fur as far as possible. The ship landed with a lurching crash.

“I got you bud,” Rocket whispered, a small fragile warmth budding in his heart for the first time since the day Groot had looked into Rocket’s broken damaged, blackened soul and spoke those three words, only this time beginning with “We.” It somehow healed him and shredded him apart simultaneously.

“There you are!” Gamora stormed down the stairs, “one of those ships followed us! If you had stayed at your station and shot them down like you were supposed to they wouldn’t have….” She stopped short, eyes widening while Rocket uncurled himself. Baby Groot stood up, shaking his little head, dried sap tears still staining his face. Gamora knelt, her face softening, “Groot, you okay?” The little tree like creature nodded.

“Did we lose them?” Drax asked, a crash from above was their answer as Rocket, Groot, Gamora and Drax rushed back up to the cock-pit watching the ship smash into the rocks of Wvax’s famous purple canyons.

“Guess not.” Peter finally sighed.

“I got you,” Rocket whispered once more, taking Groot up and putting him on his shoulders. He suppressed a smirk at the thought, oh how the tables have changed and it flarking sucks.

Luckily the right wing tip that had been shot off was a clean shot and Rocket was able to easily salvage parts from the Gunarian ship to fix the wing. With this much time to repair the wing and the engine, and the last of his booze already drunk several days ago, Rocket was forced to do the fixing, and inevitably mull over Baby Groot’s upbringing and old Groot’s death completely, utterly, miserably sober.

“I am Groot!” Groot waddled over to him on the second day. Drax followed close behind him,

“Smaller Groot. Let Rocket finish fixing the ship.” Rocket shoved a metal panel on to the underside of the wing.

“S’alright,” he said without looking. “He can stay.” Drax nodded, walking off to join Quill making some Sleverat stew over the fire. “Hey Groot hand me that socket wrench,” Rocket said automatically. He moved on to the next panel and tilted it into place, “Groot! The wrench,” he looked down to see Groot staring blankly at the array of tools scattered about the ground. Crestfallen Rocket swallowed the reminder of his friend’s loss and his irritation at this new version of his friend. It’s not his fault….it’s mine. Or maybe as Star-Turd said, it was everyone’s fault. “That’ the wrench,” Rocket gestured with his tail since he couldn’t free his hands. Groot blinked and finally stood, picking up a hammer. “Flark it! No, the wrench look, I’m pointing at it.” Rocket momentarily shook his foot in the direction of the wrench. Groot nodded in earnest and came over, little hands gladly grasping at Rocket’s foot. “No!” Letting loose a string of profanities he put the panel down and walked over to the wrench. “This, this one is the wrench Groot.”

“I am Groot,” Rocket forced himself to smile.

“Good!” Here began, “re-teach-everything-Groot-had forgotten- lessons. Starting with Rocket’s tools, different parts of weapons and bombs. Once the engine was repaired and the they were able to take off once more, Rocket sat in the engine room with Groot.

“I am Groot,” Rocket looked up from his work.

“You want to know what?” Groot kicked his little feet from his place on a deactivated bomb.

“Everything? That’s gonna take a while idiot.” Rocket stopped, looking up at Groot, the significance of that word…. both insulting and yet it had long since turned into something more affectionate dawned on him. He laughed despite himself. Was it even possible? No matter what I tell him, it won’t ever be the same. Kurtuk it, navigating complex emotions was so much harder to do sober. It wasn’t fair.

“I am Groot,” the little tree suggested.

“Fair enough bud,” Rocket sighed and began with Groot’s beginning as Groot had told him once upon a time. In telling Groot, this Groot, the story of himself and eventually the two of them, Rocket found it easier the longer he continued to talk. He forced himself to discuss Halfworld and how they’d met. What would old Groot do? Rocket asked himself every time he hit a part of their story that was difficult. He sure as shaark wouldn’t sugar coat it that’s what.

“I am Groot?” Rocket’s hands tinkered away as he talked.

“Yeah, experimentation. I’m not like you bud,” Rocket breathed. “I wasn’t grown from the vines of my elders. I don’t have no World Pod. I…I’m a monster…” Rocket whispered, the dull constant pang of his cybernetic enhancements grated against him and he felt wetness press against his eyes. He looked up, a thin wooden caress gently swept along his cheek wiping away the tear. Like the last thing Groot had done for him before they crashed. The memory only made more tears fall. Little Groot slowly climbed on Rocket’s knee, looking into him with an innocence Rocket never had. Slowly, Baby Groot spoke but Rocket could hear his old friend’s voice in the words sure as day. Could feel older Groot in that simple stroke of vine.

“You. Are. Groot.”

Armada Review episode 5-8

I am putting the read more so that you do not have to read all of this if you do not want to. This is a review for episodes 5-8  season 1 and again, a reminder, these are my thoughts, if you don’t agree with what I have to say that fine but please respect my thought and opinions on what I think about the serious.

So to start this up let go in order

Episode 5 Soldier: 

So with Soldier, this episode focused a lot on Red Alert, Hotshot, Optimus, and their relationship. We learn about Red being a chef science engineer which brought up a question, does that really make Red a medic? I mean, sure they are robots so you could say that that would make him a medic, but in other transformers, they call them medics, so a question I like to ask you all and see if you guy can answer this question, is Red Alert a medic or is he just a mech who had to learn both engineer and medical seen there no one on their team right now really a medic. 

Anyway, we notice right away Hotshot and Red not getting a lot and having some problem working together, we see Red as being tight follow the book like Magnus and we see Hotshot being this go luckily relaxed kid like Rodimus.

We also learn about how close Red and Prime's relationship is when they talk about fighting side by side in the war which I thought was a very amazing touch to the episode and that Red is really a good person who can kick ass, and do good. Then you have the Decepticons who are just treating Starscream like trash, teasing him about not having a min con and going as far as not wanting to listen to him which I thought was brought back wonderful in the episode Jungle which we will talk about in a bit but for now, we just see Megatron as normal treating Starscream badly and not even telling the other to listen to him, which in turn make Starscream want to prove himself to Megatron and which unfortunately cause him to fail in the end when he gets beat by Red and is not able to get the min con. We also get some foreshadowing of a clue of what the next min con will be but I won't talk about that till I get to the last episode but had to say that it was an interesting idea and is pretty cool.

Overall this episode was alright, the animation again, was a little bit over the place but I say it not a skip episode because you do learn a thing about the Autobots and learn a thing about the Depictions. 

Episode 6 Jungle:

*sigh* Well, everyone let buckle up for safety because we about to get into an environmental episode and I like to talk about this before I talk more about this episode. I hate environmental episodes only because it always feels repetitive and it always makes me think of the Nostalgia critic reviews where the tv or movie is so bad because of the environmental episode and that they really don’t care about the message but have to but it just because they have too.  

So with that out of the way, was it that bad? 

I mean, it not good, but there is some part I feel made it not as awful. So the plot of this episode is they have to find a min con in the forest and the kids point out that they have to be careful in the forest and to not hurt the living things that are there, and it made me think for a moment wow, do you think the Autobot or any of this bots care about the forest as they destroyed there whole home because of a war, I don’t think they give two shit but as I watch the episode, I notice something about Optimus...he does care, he even said: “This planet looks peaceful from a glance but it has some serious problems.” I might be going deep on this, might but hear me out on what I think he meant by thought words. 

I think at that moment he was thinking about Cybertron. For a glance a long time ago, you would have said the same thing, but after the war, and how much fighting they still are doing, it looks awful and sad. The fighting is causing a lot of problems and hurting others, it hurting living being, hell the min con had to leave because they were being used as weapons just like you could say about the forest being chop down for things that might be good at first but will harm everything later on if we not careful. 

So yeah, the Deception, of course, they are cutting down the tress to get to the min con and of course we get to the part I want to talk about, Starscream being treat like trash and not being taken seriously. We get a glimpse of this in the episode when there doing a simulation and Starscream is trying to tell the other what they need to do, asking them to let him do something, to have them trust him but they don’t listen which cause him to lose the simulation and be scolded by Megatron!! 

Which then again, makes Starscream, even more, determined to get a min con to prove why he is the second in command and should be listening too and it somewhat looks like Starscream looking for power but really in this episode he in the right to do that. Why because he has been treated awful, no one listens to him, Megatron has undermined him so many times that when he does and this is a spoiler. When he does get his min con Swindle which I think is a great name because Starscream names him that because he Swindles Megatron out of min con he could have used and Starscream get a really powerful one that works with him and listen to everything he asks it to do, and once he does the team start to listen to him and follow his orders. He so happy and start to get respect out of fear, which is sad because he shouldn’t have to scare them into listening to him but because Megatron would not make them listen to him and he saw Megatron get respect out of fear he thinks this is the only way to get everyone to respect him and which is why I also think he says he might be even more powerful than Megatron. Which make Megatron even angrier and maybe even get him to be more paranoid.

So yeah, this episode was awful with its speech about saving the environment, and yeah it can be a bit corny with them fighting in a forest hunting for the min con, and fighting Megatron the big old deer of the forest. (Had to put that joke in sorry.) But overall it was an okay episode and it wasn’t that bad...now for the next one well.

Episode 8 Carnival

I’m sorry, watch this episode twice, twice to find the meaning of this episode, to give it a reason why you should watch this episode and I just can’t. 

Again this is my own opinion, but this episode was not that good. It not awful, but it not good. Like, I love finding out Hotshot loves to watch old western, I thought that was cool, I even thought it was cool and spoiler, about him using the canon at the Carnival as his new guy that he shot with know and play western with. That cute! I love him being smug with the bullies. But this episode was bad! 

The humans were dumb as bricks when they min con and Hotshot show up to the Carnival, because yeah, for a while it made seen when they sneaked out the min con to the Carnival to have some fun rather than having to stay in the base cleaning up with Alexia. Yeah, it was kinda silly how the human thought they were something that came from the sciences department and that there was clueless. But when Billy and Fred when after the min con to take them because they knew they were not science department gimmicks to help them get more funding or something like that, had them “malfunctioning” around them Carnival which scared a lot of people to run away and to have Hotshot trying to get them to leave Jolt alone, Jolt flying them, them dropping off onto a ballon and having Hotshot later save them while flying around, you can not tell me the military was not call out for that little stunt or that the people that live in this town are that dumb! 

Like yeah, they are panting them that way so they can get away with things sure. But maybe it just because I was spoiled by Transformers Prime seriously but looking back on that it scary and the worst part, they don’t get yelled at by Optimus but at Alexia, Optimus should have been yelling at Hotshot and the boys! Telling them that was dumb! 

So is this episode have anything worth it? Well, it shows the difference between how the Autobot work as a team to fix up the base vs the Deception who are just fighting during the whole time there fix the base, put Demoloisher down for being clumsy, which he is but he only fell down because he didn’t want to step on a min con, which I did check in the animation and thought that was interesting, he cares not letting the min con get hurt and I don’t care what anyone says, I think that kinda sweet but sad as he scolds and tases about him falling down, we later in the last episode will talk more about Demolisher and I thought it was cool about the foreshadowing spoiler about the Star Saber sword min con that going to come into play later down the next few episodes. 

Overall this episode was bad but if you want to see it for thought reason I won’t blame you but I will not also blame you if you skip it.  

Finally, the last episode I watch for this review is episode 8 Palace.

This episode was beautiful!!!

Like I could go on and on about the animation, it was the best one so far and I think that was because they focused a lot on the robots. The music was amazing too like it made me feel like a little kid again while watching it.

So, the story was also interesting about how min con was thought of as a gift or some type of spiritual being that was probably thought of as a god or something like that, and this episode my sibling Jamie who was watching this, geek out about her Anthropologie stuff, and before you ask no they are not an Anthropology that study Egypt, in fact, they are a Mayan Cultural Anthropologies but they did remember something from there class and nerd out with me. Anyway, we just love the way they did the building, we love the fight scenes. 

Demolisher was somewhat cool in this episode too, all he wanted to do was get the min con for his own and he really tired his best, I even felt bad for him having to give it back to Megatron, I also felt like it was not fear but then again, Megatron is scared of being out powered by anyone and even thought he could challenge Starscream or order him to give it to him, it would look bad and would look like he taking his word away (even thought I’m sure he wouldn’t care about that he know for breaking it) but still maybe he was afraid of Starscream betraying him or thought maybe Demolisher couldn’t handle such a thing, or that he might both might betray Megatron whatever the case might be.

 I felt sorry for Demolisher and sorry for when he spoke up agents him, that it piss of Megatron enough to want to punish him which Starscream laugh and it supose to be a funny scene but it really scary because when you think about it Starscream not laugh because it funny but because he scared.

 When people are scared they sometime laugh because Starscream know how bad a beating Megatron can give when he don’t get what he wants and I just thought that was also very interesting. 

I might later down the road when we get to more episodes might do a break down some of the transformers and what I thought about them throw this serious and point out the thing that I think is very interesting to me and might even say something I think are canon for them. But anyway. I think this was my favorite animated so far and I say give it a watch if not for the story then for the beautiful animation!

Next Monday I’ll be reviewing 9-13 (Yes five this time because we're getting close to the end of season one!) Thank you all for reading my review on this serious I hope you all like this and have a good night.

Incomplete Rock n’ roll Jukebox

不完全向摇滚指北（种草机）2.0，一些最近听的/最近知道的/一直感觉还行的乐队，以及喜欢的曲子：展现dd本性的时刻。

I. 英国摇滚（别问，问就是英国摇滚最尊，听完了请看12年伦敦奥运会开幕式流泪，请）

关键词：Britpop英伦摇滚/Altertive另类摇滚/Prog前卫摇滚/Glam Rock华丽摇滚

Oasis： Time flies by…1994-2009

Don't look back in anger/stop crying your heart out etc.

神专据说是（What's the story）Morning glory，出了wonderwall和don’t look back in anger两首想想就知道有多神了，英国凤凰传奇美誉，不仅是这张而是基本全部都好听，入门简单，咖喱格兄弟吵嘴快乐源泉（今天你potato了吗），总结起来就是天才（。

Suede：Coming up/Dog man star （deluxe edition）

前两专都优秀（指BB的吉他和BA的骚气）虽然大家肯定都不会一开始就去听山羊皮首专的曲子但我希望每个人都去听Animal Nitrate爽一下.jpg

DMS，最近频繁使人落泪的一张，可称之为masterpiece（在uncut版的前提下）。DMS专推荐the 2 of us/the asphalt world/stay together胃疼三连发，改天可以写个Suede 1.0歌曲推荐（

其实除了dms更好推荐（那张曾经霸占了英国排行榜top1的）商业专辑，是每个人都会喜欢的一张，也是很骚很有特色的一张，即coming up，听就没错，不会踩雷，每首都好听。如果你被beautiful ones嗨到不行，建议右转隔壁the tears听一下他们的lovers这首，会更嗨（

Muse：The situation theory（最近的一张）

Supermassive Black Hole/Pressure/Plug-in baby/Unintended

都好听，很滚，很骚，（没听过黑洞的或者看Mattew Bellamy用嘴弹琴的可以立即搜一下live去体会一下英国摇滚乐队能有多骚气），对了，骚气就是英国特色。最近的一张（两难理论那个）也非常好，9012年还有真正在搞摇滚的乐队，流泪惹，是真正的sci-fi玩家。

Essentials 都好听，都可以

Queen：Queen the greatest hits the platinum collection

I'm in love with my car 金属花，我最近的挚爱

Queen我还要说什么吗，波西米亚都看了吗，看不看没所谓，反正跟着电影原声集听就行，没有不好听的，全是大写的经典，然后再跟着精选集听，然后恭喜掉坑，一起来欣赏美丽Freddie，美丽狂花，美丽校长，美丽炯炯。

King Crimson：In the court of the crimson king

除了首专外推荐Islands/Starless/Fallen Angel，都很长，平均十分钟一首，但是听完绝对不会说不好听。

Prog rock入门系列。首专放心听，绝对不踩雷，听完你流泪，因为你之前都不会想到还有这样的音乐。

Pink Floyd：The dark side of the moon/ The wall/ Wish you were here，堪称pf安利三巨头，因为你总会被其中一张打动（。

喜欢Time以及the great gig in the sky，以及Shine on your crazy diamond。

更不需要说什么了，pf教你什么叫做迷幻音乐，什么叫做穿越时代的音乐人，什么叫做摇滚乐队的顶尖，巅峰，以及不可复制的胜利。（记得拜水爷）

英国摇滚我不知道是否该概括为没有啥门槛（britpop谁都能听，ok的），因为有些都不符合大家心目中吵得要死的摇滚刻板印象，反而都很亲切（要么就prog那样贼高端，但是好听），

britpop可谓好入坑的典型代表，90年代席卷世界的英伦入侵风潮四巨头乐队：oasis，blur，suede，pulp，（虽然说是四巨头但我个人认为suede没有其他三个混得好怎么回事（碎碎念）

Blur也很好的，虽然我是没怎么听过（所以没写介绍）但我时常蠢蠢欲动。

II. 美国摇滚

关键词：Hard rock硬摇滚/Grunge油渍摇滚/Alternative另类摇滚/Punk朋克/Metal金属乐

Guns n’ roses：Use your illusion I&II

惯例的老歌经典歌都喜欢，没人会不喜欢，我说枪花是摇滚入门有人有意见吗.jpg

Nirvana：Nevermind

Grunge入门，但其实和种类没什么所谓，Nevermind好听就完事儿了，还有一个就是94年纽约不插电live

Green day：American Idiot

依旧是听American Idiot全曲就完事儿了，好听，会很爽

Red hot chilli pepper：Can't stop

听得少，but我相信曲子都很好听，很ok，很爽，我不知道有谁能不被Can‘t stop爽到；跟着精选集听不碰雷（也许

The pretty reckless：Essentials，三张专辑都可以

基本上跟着三张专辑听不碰雷，Make me wanna die/zombie/my medicine经典三连发你需要拥有

My chemical romance：Essentials

不会踩雷，全部都很好听就完事儿了

Def Leppard：Hysteria

被荒木推荐的一张，爽&够摇滚，也很棒，

不讲什么内涵，美国乐队我听的为数不多的几个都是巨爽的，对于美国乐队我就全部都难以有想象，虽然很棒（缺德

总体来说我还是觉得英国摇滚非常适合本小清新（？但很明显是美国摇滚比较符合大众对于摇滚的刻板印象，同样也非常适合入门，如果你就是想追求一种非常简单直接的摇滚的刺激感的话。
